Former Roma coach Fabio Capello says defeat to Udinese was a wake-up call for Jose Mourinho.

The Zebrette overran Roma on Sunday to win 4-0.

Capello reacted, stating: "Some teams have made a bit of turnover in this round of the championship, the only one that hasn't done it was Mourinho's who, however, found a strong team tonight.

"In my opinion there are no excuses, after only five games you can't be tired already. I really like Mourinho, you know where he wants to go, but in this match it has highlighted the strengths of the others too much.

"Udinese plays football that is different from what we are used to seeing from other teams, they have great determination, competitive spirit and speed. This speed has put Roma in crisis, they played with two forwards close to each other. But above all they showed great humility and awareness."
